I kind of do not like this for the looks but I really appreciate ride quality since I already tried Megan lowering spring and cheap coilover.

My next project will be getting ST XTA which I hear is about equivalent to KW V2 and the price is much cheaper. Also there are 2 separate springs one for high speed the other for lower speed which is ideal for spirited driving and daily cruise to work or to hang out. I feel the KW/ST will meet my need since it can drop lower than my Tein but can compensate for bad ride by having 2 springs on each shock. Maybe you should look into KW or ST XTA

None related. It's nice reading some of these comments and getting to know the market a bit better
Why can't you drop your rear another 1/2 inch to even it up? Maxed out? Might consider an LCA like Stance's that offers a static drop without changing coil length length. They are kind of a shallow U shape do the mounting point for the damper is below the knuckle. There are other brands on the market also
